Reaction Steps

Dissolve 3′-chloro-2,3,5,6-tetrahydro-[1,2′]bipyrazinyl-4-carboxylic acid t-butyl ester (0.400 g, 1.34 mmol) in toluene (2.68 mL). Add 4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenylboronic acid (0.303 g, 1.47 mmol), followed by tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (0.077 g, 0.067 mmol). Add ethanol (2.68 mL), followed by a 2 N aqueous sodium carbonate solution (2.68 mL). Reflux reaction for 18 hr. Cool reaction to room temperature and concentrate. Add ethyl acetate and wash with water. Extract water layer one time with ethyl acetate. Dry (magnesium sulfate), filter, concentrate and purify (silica gel chromatography, eluting with 0:100 to 20:80 ethyl acetate:hexanes), to give 3′-(4-trifluoromethoxyphenyl)-2,3,5,6-tetrahydro-[1,2′]bipyrazinyl-4-carboxylic acid t-butyl ester (534 mg, 94%). MS (ES): m/z=425 [M+H]+.
